1997 BMW E36 M3
Sedan
5-Speed Manual
Supercharged (VF Engineering)
Rear wheel drive
Boston green metallic
Recent service
Great looking car - I get positive remarks all the time. Fast and fun.
I've owned the car since December of 2015. Originally from California, so the odometer is in miles. Vehicle is registered and insured and located in Vancouver.
Upgrades and maintenance during my ownership:
-Recent oil service and inspection (Liqui Moly 5w-40)
-New power steering lines, reservoir, fluid (2019)
-New cooling system: Radiator, water pump, hoses, lower temp thermostat, coolant (2017)
-New electric radiator fan (2017)
-New relays and sensors: low temp aux fan switch, IAT sensor, coolant temp sensor
-New spark plugs (2018)
-New Depo projector headlights, corner lights, fog lights (2016)
-New Morimoto HID bulbs (2020)
-New adjustable ST coilovers by KW (2016)
-New wheel spaces all around
-New tie-rods (2017)
-New windshield (2017) has a chip in it now
-New kidney grill (2016)
Overall the car is in good condition. As with any vehicle of this age there are exterior imperfections and mechanical quirks. The car is reliable and I often drive it to the islands, trips to the interior and into Alberta.
Price is $8,800
Please message me for more info or to set up an appointment to view.
Thanks for looking!

Everything on BAT is crazy. Just rich ppl buying stuff at madness prices and now every other ad on CL is (Example like this old on BAT for XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX).
BAT and Barrett Jackson literally ruined everything. I hate them.

I hate BAT, but it’s still a data point. People are paying that premium for cars. I don’t buy the (insert car here) bullshit that this sold for 40k on BAT so my broken shitbox with 100k more is worth as much, but these cars are a near identical match. Honestly the local car looks nicer and it’s 7-8k less.

Local car is more original it’s the better buy of the 2 in my mind plus it’s cheaper. Especially being local (obviously).
Yah it’s $27k but you could drive this car for “free” the next 3-5 years easily with values continually increasing.
Wonder if someone will buy this car and then post it on BAT like other examples that we have seen this year.
To think, it wasn't too long ago decent Canadian Euro Spec E36's could be bought for $10K ish.
Then again I remember a time when daily driven E30 M3's could be had for $8K.

BAT is a data point but unless if you're willing to title the car in the US prior to auction then a Canadian car won't get near the identical US car gets on there.
In short, BAT has ruined the local market for cool cars.

Seems like a small price to pay for a 31-32% USD premium and a vastly larger market?
People can be weird when it comes to buying cars. Through an "importer", dealer or BAT they're willing to pay far more for a car for whatever reason. Even if the one on there isn't as nice as a private sale one.

The same days people could get yaletown condos for 250k. I always say it, its not that things increase in value, your purchasing power has just tanked. Those that already have everything are the ones making money. Thank our "booming economies!"
